    72 corvette radio

    Looking to confirm the serial number on a am/fm radio ; if it is a 1972 radio or not. The service model # is 31BFP1. THE SERIAL # IS 1121388. Any help on this sure would be appreciated. If anyone has a serial ## range that I could use if this is not a 72 radio, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help. Mike C.

    There should be a GM part number also to be found on a label attached to the radio chassis. This will be a 7 digit number which begins with a "7" or a "9". If you can find and report that number, I may be able to tell you more after I can get at my references this evening.

      Mike -

      There should also be a sticker with a "Product #", which is the part number. The model number (31BFP1) normally breaks down as follows:

      First Digit - model year ('73 for yours)
      Second Digit - Division ("1" for Chevrolet)
      Third Digit - Body Type ("B" is for Impala/Caprice - Corvette was "Y")
      4th & 5th Digit - Radio Type ("FP" - FM/AM pushbutton)
      6th Digit - can't remember (?)
